Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
In online sessions Martha uses evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and work toward practical changes; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, offering tools to reduce reactivity and manage emotional overwhelm. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people find their own motivation for change, often useful for addictions, behavior change, and ambivalence about treatment.Martha approaches treatment as a collaborative process. She will work with each client to explore which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques over time so the plan grows from the client’s needs and strengths.
